POMPANO BEACH — Two brothers were arrested after they sold about $7,000 worth of stolen plumbing fixtures to undercover agents, police said.

The brothers, Donald Davis, 43, and Beauford Davis, 47, both of the 1500 block of Northwest Fifth Avenue, Pompano Beach, were charged Wednesday with possession of stolen property, dealing in stolen property and soliciting without a license, police Lt. David Cassell said.

He said detectives received a tip that the men were selling equipment reported stolen two months ago from West County Supplies Inc. at 4460 Carver St., Lake Worth.

Plainclothes officers met the pair at a warehouse complex in the 1100 block of Northeast First Avenue to arrange a deal. Cassell said the Davises offered to sell a pickup truck full of equipment, including brass fixtures and garbage disposals, for $1,300.
